Extra Info
Smart Dual Lighting
The Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3867-IL-AS-ANZ uses Smart Dual Light technology, which combines infrared (IR) and warm LED illumination. Under normal low-light conditions, it uses IR to capture black-and-white footage discreetly. When the built-in AI detects human or vehicle movement, the warm light automatically activates, switching to full-color recording. Once motion is no longer detected, it reverts to IR mode. This setup reduces unnecessary light pollution while ensuring clear color details during important events.
AI & Motion Detection
Equipped with advanced AI analytics, the camera supports Intrusion, Tripwire, and Smart Motion Detection (SMD 4.0) to accurately distinguish humans and vehicles from irrelevant motion such as moving branches or animals. It also features abnormality detection for events like scene tampering, sudden audio changes, SD card errors, network disconnection, and IP conflicts.
AI SSA (Scene Self-Adaptation)
The AI Scene Self-Adaptation (SSA) function automatically adjusts brightness, contrast, and color balance based on environmental lighting. It helps maintain high-quality images in challenging conditions such as backlighting, low light, or fog.
Illumination Range & Lens
The camera offers up to a 30-meter illumination range using both infrared and warm light. It uses a 1/2.7" 8MP CMOS sensor, capturing images at a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels at 25 or 30 frames per second. The lens is fixed (available in 2.8 mm or 3.6 mm variants) with a wide horizontal field of view of around 110° for the 2.8 mm version and a close focus distance of about 1.4 m.
Imaging & Video
The camera supports H.265 and H.264 compression formats for efficient bandwidth and storage use. It includes advanced image enhancement functions such as 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), 3D Digital Noise Reduction (3D NR), Backlight Compensation (BLC), Highlight Compensation (HLC), and digital watermarking. The system allows flexible bitrate control (CBR, VBR, ABR) and multiple video streams for optimized monitoring performance.
Storage & Audio
A built-in microphone supports audio recording, while local storage is available through a MicroSD card slot that supports up to 512 GB. It can also store footage via NAS or FTP.
Environmental & Protection
Built with a durable metal housing and rated IP67, the camera is fully protected against dust and can withstand temporary water immersion. It operates reliably in a wide temperature range and includes voltage tolerance protection to ensure stable operation in outdoor environments.
